Altenator Issues

(1/2) > >>

Hi

Anyone can confirm is this an issue or due to normal wear and tear.

For the past 2 years, my altenator had been consistenly charging at 14V due to Voltage meter display.  Only the recent week,
every car startup will show at 14V and then subsequent driving will slowly drop to 13V and stay there.  Can never rise back to 14V again. 

Any impact to the car if the altenator is always at 12.9 - 13.1 V when driving?

Jazz:
Mine before cranking around >12v, after cranked is >14v. Previously around 14.8v, recently dropped to 14.2v on the run.  :smile:

How to check this?

Jazz:
Install a volt meter lor.  :smile:

Those after market meters are nice to look at with its bright and colourful lights but be wary that most do not serrve their primary purpose.

My friend installed an after market meter to monitor his battery condition. It indicated normal voltage when he parked his car, but when he returned an hour later to start it, the battery was flat.
